and they were really works Of art.
"a young man sauntered in few DAYS
before Christmas and asked to eco some
hand painted cards. I showed him some
hand painted ones, and this u how he
questioned me: Yes, you say they are
hand painted? Yes, at great expense,
I replied. Who was the artists' he asked.

Jars with patent shoppers, vulcanized India
rubber joints making them perfectly air
tight. As soon as the eggs have been COL
lected, the jars are stood in hot water for
some time, and left until the air in them
has become thoroughly warm and rarified.
Tho jars having been heated, the eggs are
wrapped up in paper to prevent them
knocking together and placed in the warm
receptacle, their pointed ends being upper
most. The Jars are immediately closed
up, and then, and not until then, are re-
moved from the hot water. It is said that

secret Of success in carrying out this
method Is no doubt to thoroughly heat the
